α6000 new software is now available.

Shoot in 0.06 seconds with ultra-fast autofocus

The perfect moment, captured perfectly

Unlike many competitors, the α6000’s Fast Hybrid AF combines the strengths of both phase- and contrast-detection autofocus. With a class-leading 179 phase detection points (covering almost the entire image), and a high-speed contrast-detection function, the result is not only an impressive 11 fps burst mode, but also highly accurate movement tracking for both stills and video.

20% more sensitive

Gapless on-chip lenses

Two micron-level innovations boost sensor capability: removing the gaps between the 24.3 million micro-lenses makes the entire chip surface photo reactive, and each micro-lens is angled depending on location for optimum efficiency and sensitivity.

Quality starts with the sensor

More area for more detailed images

The truth is simple: better images begin with bigger sensors, and the α6000 outclasses many cameras in its category. Its APS-C size sensor offers 1.6 times the area of 4/3 sensors, and 13 times that of the 1/2.3 sensors of typical compact digital cameras. The result is an outstanding level of quality in every image.

Detail-reproduction technology

To prevent problematic diffraction when shooting at a small aperture, special optical filtering is applied to correct specific image points that are blurred⎯resulting in a detailed, ultra-sharp photograph.

World-class speed

Partnered with the new sensor and autofocus technology, the powerful BIONZ X™ can easily process the vast amount of data required to create the world’s fastest AF system, especially during movie recording.

Sharper details, faster AF

BIONZ X™ Processor

With three times the processing speed of earlier models, the new BIONZ X™ is able to accurately capture textures, reduce blurry details, and even suppress visual noise in specific areas to ensure sharp images. All these advantages apply equally to still images or video.

Exmor™ CMOS sensor

Advanced processor

The BIONZ X™ image processor ensures images of the highest quality, and provides the muscle needed for ultra-fast AF.

Amazing shots in low light

The extremely high ISO range lets you shoot natural, nuanced photos in dim light or indoors without a flash.

Introducing ultra-fast autofocus

Capture everything from flying water droplets to fleeting smiles

An ultra-fast autofocus makes the α6000 one of the most versatile interchangeable-lens cameras available. At a mere 0.06 seconds, you're assured of getting the perfect shot in any situation, from family events to sports and nature.

Never miss the perfect shot

Fast Hybrid AF

The advanced Fast Hybrid AF enables more scenes to be focused via phase-detection only (reducing reliance on the contrast-detection mode), delivering fast AF available to capture your subject at the exact moment you intend.

Wider frame coverage

Ultra-precise 179 AF points for greater coverage.

More autofocus points mean a better chance of capturing a perfectly sharp image, and with a class-leading 179 AF points, the α6000 provides extensive frame coverage and continuous, precise location of your subject⎯no matter where in the frame they may be.

focal plane phase detection AF points

Split-second and ultra-sharp

11 fps continuous shooting with AF tracking

Capturing an impressive 11 photos a second wouldn’t mean much if they were blurry. That’s where the α6000 excels; you get a very high frames-per-second (fps) rate while the superior AF tracking ensures your selected subject is crisp and clear.

11 frames per second

Video phase detection

Smooth AF enhances your movies

The α6000’s impressive AF capabilities are not just limited to still photos. It uses the same phase-detection priority to ensure fast focusing and smooth tracking to give a professional polish to your most demanding video projects.

Customizable Buttons

3” Tiltable LCD screen

Shoot more creatively; screen can be tilted up and down to accurately shoot over a crowd, or to get unique, startling shots of pets, children, and more.

Multi Interface Shoe

Take advantage of a wide variety of accessories⎯including video lights and shotgun mikes for more professional videos.

Intuitive User Interface

Interface features such as Quick Navi Pro and an Fn (Function) button provide fast, intuitive access to camera functions you want to adjust.

Control Wheel

Set various shooting parameters with the flip of a finger and see the information instantly displayed in the Electronic Viewfinder.

Control Dial

Like the Mode Dial, conveniently located on the top of the camera; change settings quickly and intuitively without taking your eye away from the Electronic View Finder.

Convenient companion

The α6000 is smaller and lighter than comparable DSLRs

The saying in photography is that the best camera is the one you have with you. With its compact size and light weight, the α6000 compares favorably to bulkier, heavier DSLRs. Yet with the creativity of interchangeable lenses, manual controls and more, you sacrifice nothing.

Smarter viewfinder for better photos

The OLED Tru-Finder™ EVF is another of the α6000’s expert-level tools, with rich real-time data for planning and previewing shots. Exposure Control compensates for overly bright/dim scenes, Focus Zoom accurately enlarges a chosen detail, and Display Mode reveals histograms and more.
